Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cooking the short-grain rice according to package instructions. Once done, fluff the rice with a fork and cover it to keep warm.
  2. Take your boneless cutlets and season them generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and another with panko breadcrumbs. Dredge each cutlet in flour, coat with egg, and press into panko.
  4. Heat about 1/2 inch of oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  5. Carefully place the coated cutlets in the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Let the katsu rest for a minute after frying, then slice each cutlet into strips.
  7. Assemble your bowls with warm rice at the bottom, topped with sliced katsu and drizzled with tonkatsu sauce.
  8. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and serve immediately.
